    X-Brawn's vehicle mode is a minivan. This version is a bit more "kiddie-fied" in its proportions and general stubiness than its deluxe version, but otherwise, it's pretty accurate. The only thing that throws one off a little about this mode is that X-Brawn has a little "nub" sticking out of the right side of his vehicle mode (necessary for transformation). No real big deal, but it throws off the symmetry of this mode. One thing also worth mentioning is that X-Brawn is the only Spychanger to have different-sized wheels; the ones in the front are smaller than those in the back.
    X-Brawn's robot mode is pretty accurate to his deluxe version, despite a pretty different transformation. Hasbro even molded "tires" above his feet, even though his actual wheels don't rotate to the front like they do on the deluxe version. However, proportion-wise, X-Brawn's left arm is even bigger on this toy than it is on the deluxe version, and it causes X-Brawn to tip over on that side rather easily. Also, his robot fist doesn't actually come out the other end of the van front, but is rather molded into the side, which kinda detracts from the look a little. Also, he doesn't have any weapons to speak of, so that limits his playability there. Another thing that limits how fun this toy is is his lack of good articulation; his legs and head can't move at all. However, his arms can move. The shoulder and elbow can move on the right arm, and the shoulder in 2 parts and the elbow at one on the left. The extra "car flaps" extending from the top of his leg sections is also a bit detracting from the look, but this is present on the deluxe version as well. X-Brawn's detailing, both mold-wise and paint-wise, is very good in this mode, especially for such a small figure. The chest and head are especially well-done.
    Although he's not as great or well-proportioned as the deluxe version, the Spychanger X-Brawn's still a decent toy. Not really playable with that much, but then again, none of the Spychangers really are.
